properties and density worksheet
what is the difference between an intensive and extensive property?
what is the difference between a physical and chemical property?
property extensive or intensive property physical or chemical property
color
combustibility
hardness
density
mass
melting point
malleability
reactivity with acid
odor
weight
malleability
tendency to corrode

Explanation:

An intensive property does not depend on the amount of matter (e.g., color, density), while an extensive property does (e.g., mass, volume). A physical property can be observed without changing the substance's chemical identity (e.g., color, hardness), and a chemical property is observed during a chemical change (e.g., combustibility, reactivity with acid).
For color: Intensive, Physical; Combustibility: Intensive, Chemical; Hardness: Intensive, Physical; Density: Intensive, Physical; Mass: Extensive, Physical; Melting point: Intensive, Physical; Ductility: Intensive, Physical; Volume: Extensive, Physical; Reactivity with acid: Intensive, Chemical; Odor: Intensive, Physical; Weight: Extensive, Physical; Malleability: Intensive, Physical; Tendency to corrode: Intensive, Chemical.

combustibility	Intensive	Chemical
hardness	Intensive	Physical
density	Intensive	Physical
mass	Extensive	Physical
melting point	Intensive	Physical
ductility	Intensive	Physical
volume	Extensive	Physical
reactivity with acid	Intensive	Chemical
odor	Intensive	Physical
weight	Extensive	Physical
malleability	Intensive	Physical
tendency to corrode	Intensive	Chemical
